Pacific Palisades: dining set

2013

I first designed and built this dining set for a newly renovated 1949 ranch house nestled alongside the Santa Monica Mountains, and have remade versions of it many times since. Made from book-matched California claro walnut slabs with black walnut finger jointed bases, and finished with hand rubbed oil and varnish. 
“It’s the heart of the house,” says Shiva of her table, which sits under a chandelier made of ribbons. “Lee, this wood nymph from up north, made it for me. I picked out the walnut slab, and she turned it into a table.”
